Mrs. Cleveland J~sOpard1zeB the Senate.
Washington correspondence: The
senate is very careful that its preroga.
tives are not invaded by the 90 ordinate
branch OF the government. The rules
of the senate must be obeyed by all,
irrespective of race, color or previous
condition. There is q rule forbidding
spectators in the senate galleries hanging
their top ccsts or ether garments over
tho iron railing that protects the front
row OF seats, for fear that an apple or
some other concealed weapon might fall
upon the bald head OF q senatorial
millionaire. This prohibition il almost
as old and quite as sacred as the Mosaic
law. In fact the latter ID not SO strictly
enforced in the senate. This morning
Mrs. Cleveland and q young lady who is
her guest went i. to the capitol
and took the saat that ia
always kept vacant for the use OF the
presidents wife should she at any time
favor the co-ordinste branch With the
blessing OF her presence. Probably

that protacts the senatorial dignity, who
trembling with emotion, strobe down to
the seat behind her and whispered ia her

mantle promptly, threw il upon the
seat behind her, and then, turning to
the agitated argus, begged his pardon.
with q smile that he will carry around
with him all the rest of his life.

Concerning Young Men.

[Slips with the following facts were placed
in the pews of Washington Gladden's
Church, in Columbus, Ohio.
1t is estimated that but fifteen per cent.
of the young mea of this country attend
church with any regularity, that only five
per cent. are church members, aud
that seyenty-ive per cent. never go to
church at all. The attendance of young
men at church, pray er-meeting Or Sunday
school, is very small indeed.
On the other hand, the countless saloons,
billiard rooms, dance-halls, and other even
worse places Of vice, that are to be found
in all our villages, town and cities, depend
for their support almost entirely upon the
patronage of young men. Our jails and re-
formatory institutions are full of young men.
In one House Of Correction in western
city, the records show ], 1888 inmates, 1,172
of whom were young men between the ages
of 10 and 80. In an eastern state peniten-
tiary, where there are no boys, the average
age of its 1900 inmates was less than Il
years. The cost to certain country OF try
ing and con7icting one of these criminals
(26 years Of age) was over $4,000; upon
another, before he was executed $50, 009
were expended.
To maintain the liquor saloons Of the
United States q prominent agency for ruin
ing young men, over $3.50, coo, 900 annually,
or 50, 10000 daily are expended To main
tain the Young Mems Christian Society, a
prominent agency of the church to save
young men, $750,000 annually or about
$4,000 daily arc expended. One dollar to
save against one thousand TO ruin! We have
urgent reason to pray and labor, that one
dollar may be energized and multiplied by
Him who can make one chase a thousand
and two put ten thousand to flight.

When should Wheat be Cut.

The best time to cut wheat is point OF
great importance to the farmer. The ex-
ceptionally high price of Minnesota wheat
in our markets is largely due to the dry at
mosphere of the section in which it CREWS.
The most valuable constituents of grain
of wheat are gluten, starch, and small
amount of phosphates. Gluten forms flesh;
starch is a heat producer and forms fat
The per cent. of gluten varies in different
kinds of wheat. Ohio wheats contain from
ten to fifteen per cent, while starch may
constitute from fifty to sixty per cent. OF
the kernel. Gluten is more nutritious than
starch, its composition more nearly resem-
bling the muscular tissue of animals.
Aside from the value of gluten as food,
it has valuable properties, in combination
with starch, for making bread. Wheat
containing a small amount of gluten is
softer, and will make much whittier flour,
for the gluten imparts yellowish shade.
Put, if flour contains too little gluten, it
will not rise, even if yeast be added. Glu-
ten Qike glue) forms, with water, tena-
cious paste, SO that when fermentive action
begins in the dough, the gluten forms cell
around the carbOnic acid gas, and retains
it, causing the dough to rise. When baked,
such bread is very light and sweet, though
not as white as when little gluten is present.
Many farmers are induced to cut their
wheat too soon, because the kernel remains
large and plump, from the moisture con-
tanned in the starch. Wheat containing a
large amount of gluten will appear shrunk-
en-, because the gluten readily yields its
moisture, but will be far more valuable as
food.
Repeated experiments have failed to show
any increase, either of starch or gluten,
from day to day, after wheat has been cut.
The only rule we can suggest, which may ap
ply to all varieties, is this: Delay cutting as
long as is compatible with avoiding waste
in handling. When cut, secure it as prompt
ly and as perfectly as possible. To make
the best bread, good, sound, glutinous
variety of wheat must be sown on sound,
dry land it must get fully ripe before it is
harvested, be secured without damage, and
must be properly ground.-4naericaa Ag-
ricuzturist for June.

CLEVELAND AND THE DEPENDENT PEN
SION BILL, AGAIN.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, !

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, May IS, 1887
Nr. ". J. Ro5elin, Quartermaster, Val
nington, DEL:
Dear Sir,-I am in receipt of your letter
Of the 7th instant transmitting handsomely
engrossed resolutions of General U. s.
Grant Post No. Is, approving my execu-
tive action in veto1Ug the dependent pen
sion bill. | beg to express through you to
the members Of the post my appreciation of
their endorsement and my thanks for the
courtesy manifested in the form of their ap-
provaI. Ii sometimes happens that official
conduct, clearly demanded by imperative
obligation of public duty, is made difficult
By counter influences aud inclinations which
grow out Of sympathy, or by the disposition
to follow with ease and comfort the APP
parent current OF popular opinion. Those
of our citizens not holding office, and thus
entirely free from the solemn obligation of
protecting the interests of the people, often
fail to realize that their public servants are,
TO large extent, debarred in official action
from the indulgence of these charitable i'm
pulses, which in private life are not only
harmless bnt commendable While the
privation should be regarded as one of the
stern incidents of faithful performance of
official duty, and while it should be endur-
ed with resignation, arising from unfalter-
ing faith in the ultimate justice of the
American people, it is nevertheless crafty
ing to receive such expressions as are CON
tanned in the resolutions now before me.
Yours very truly,

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.-An incident
occurred recently in one of the police courts
of Chicago, in which little street-boy' S
devotion to his drunken mother was touch
ingly shown.
A woman had been picked up in state
of intoxication and carried to police sta
ton, where she spent the night. The next
morning, she was arraigned before the mag
istrate. Clinging to her battered gown
were two children, boy and girl, the form
er only seven years of age, but made pre-
maturely old by the hardships of his wretch
ed life.
''Five dollars and COSTS" said the judge,
sternly. "Seven dollars and sixty cents in
ALL"
Instantly, the little fellow started up,
and taking his sisters arm he cried out,
"Come on; we's got to git that money, or
mam'H hev to go to Jail. Jest wait, Mr..
Jedge, and we'll git it!''
The children hurried out Of the court
room, and going from store to store solicit
ed contributions to 'Keep mann from going
to JAIL" the boy bravely promising every
giver to ssreturn the money as soon as be
could earn it. Soon he came running back
into the COURTROOM, and laying a handful
of small change on the magistrates desk,
exclaimed:
There's two dollars, Mr. ledge, and !
can't git no more now. I Amt as big as
nam, and can't do as much work; but il
you'll jist let me 60 to Jail stead o. her,
l'll stay longer to make up for it."
The bystanders wiped their eyes and a
policeman exclaimed: "Your mother shan't
60 to JAIL my lad, if have to pay the fine
| myself"
81 will remit the fine," said the judge,
and the woman, clasping her boy in hel
arms, sank upon her knees and solemnly
vowed that she would lead a better life auc

SUPERINTENDENT Wo,1nnr

SWEET MINDED WoMEN.-So great is
the influence of sweet minded woman 90
those around her that it is almost bound-
less
1t is to her that friends come in seasons
of sorrow and sickness for help and com
fort. One soothing touch OF her kindly
hands works wonders in the feverish child:
a few wo,ds let fall from her lips in the ear
of a sorrowing sister do much to raise the
load of grief that is bowling its victim down
to the dust in anguish.
The husband comes home worn out with
the pressure Of business and feeling irrita-
bic with the world in general, but when he
enters the coy sitting room, and sees the
blaze of the bright fire and meets his wife's
smiling face he succumbs in moment to
the soothing int1uenc; S, which act as the
balm Of Gilead to his wounded spirit.
The rough schoelboy flies in rage from
the taunts of his companions to fud soIaee
in his mothers smile; the little one, full of
grief with its own large trouble, finds a
heaven of rest in its mothers breast /; and
so one might go on with instances of the
Influences that a sweet-minded woman has
in the social life with which she is con-
nected.
Beauty is an insignificant power when
compared with hers,
